I think it's more of the optimism for the upcoming season. Last year we knew we would suck and had two first round picks in a great draft.
This year quite a few think we'll be somewhat improved, more exciting to watch, and only have one pick in a more ho-hum draft.
That and PG_AB left the bldg.

I think people are optimistic at this point and don't realize how bad we will be. Come January, this thread will be hopping.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Favors and Hayward are going into their 5th years, Burks and Kanter are going into their 4th... If the Jazz aren't challenging for the 8th seed by the 2nd half of the season, then this rebuild isn't working.
Draftexpress released the preseason scouting report on Karl Towns:

I'm still not impressed! A lot of people here mention him being able to stretch the floor and that being a better fit next to Favors/Gobert, but he doesn't seem great at that... he's barely OK shooter. If we had the choice between Towns and Okafor, I'd still pick Okafor, much more skilled around the rim. I think he's a rare talent from what I've seen of him.

Towns vs Okafor will be like the Wiggins vs Jabari this year

I still want Stanley Johnson the most right now.
